public AbstractPartComparator(@Nonnull
                      ESortOrder eSortOrder,
                      @Nonnull
                      Comparator<? super PARTTYPE> aPartComparator)

Constructor with sort order and no nested comparator.

Parameters:

eSortOrder - The sort order to use. May not be null.

aPartComparator - The comparator for comparing the IDs. May not be null.

Method Detail

getPart

@Nullable
protected abstract PARTTYPE getPart(DATATYPE aObject)

mainCompare

protected final int mainCompare(DATATYPE aElement1,
              DATATYPE aElement2)

Specified by:

mainCompare in class AbstractComparator<DATATYPE>

Parameters:

aElement1 - First element to compare. No information on the null status.

aElement2 - Second element to compare. No information on the null status.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
